Sure. And not being familiar with the code base, I will admit to having no idea whether that extra work is large or small.
But given that, presumably, the code to handle SysV/BSD init scripts is already part of Trinity, perhaps it is more an issue of "not deleting code" as opposed to "designing and implementing new code".
Changes generally need to be tested whether additions or subtractions, lest unforeseen consequences manifest. Not infrequently I have doubts that code rippers did any testing at all.
